Hi Koichii,
I have a question, in my company we got a presentation on how to address Japanese people (we were inspecting them to come for an inspection) and one of the points was that we should NEVER ever wear read clothes. Now, is it true or is a complete fairy tale? Why on Earth would Japanese people hate red as a color?

Greetings

i'm japanese but since i lived in Europe i can't read kanji, but im learning japanese here in Yokohama.

i've started with some friends an a cappella band called Furacha/flower chilz but we aren't famous we are guys who like jpop music, in europe we are well known as Flow-fair (a spoofname because our idols are the members of Rag fair a japanese a cappella band in wich we have found our strenght and inspiration)

Hey Koichi, how long do you think I'll learn Japanese if I study every day for about an hour. Would that be an acceptable study time? Thank you. :)

I'm glad you decided to make another site. I can now enjoy all your "sugoi" content with having to pull my hair just to translate. But anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing what your going to add. I always had an interest in Japanese culture ever since I met my best friend; whom introduced me to some of the culture. Before I met him, all I knew was just a couple phrases, sushi, chopsticks, and Initial D... lol. I recently took an initiative to learn Japanese; I never got the chance to learn in the past, but since I have all this spare time and money, I can now teach myself. I wish I had a Japanese friend though. Hopefully I will learn enough to carry on a conversation and be able to understand the other stuff you got on Koichiben.

安室奈美恵 seems to be a guaranteed one. recently started to use mixi; she seems to be the most popular celebrity to have a pic of. My personal favourites include ｹﾂﾒｲｼ, Rip Slyme and Sparta Locals. The latter not being well known. It seems japanese people don't know a wide range of japanese artists themselves and alot mostly listen to western music. But, if u still wanna find out more about popular artists, u can check japanese music channels: Oh!sama TV and Sony Music are both free but really limitied (only about 10 clips of 30 seconds). Having japanese TV would help, I live in UK and my japanese tutor here has Japanese TV but it costs about 3 times more than an average sky package so if u wanted that.. its ur view if u can afford it and then if its worth it

maybe...but I don't know who's popular either. Possibly after I build up more resources and syndications I'll be able to.

Hey koichii, do you think you could add stuff on the latest music/singers in japan? I really like some of the singers but I think it would be good to know who is most popular right now and what most teens are listening to. Thankiiesz Koichi ^_^
